I'm so happy for you that it turned out! And I'm impressed by your ingenuity, too.

What did you cook it in? How did it go?

If you bring me an editing assignment, you're getting it back with parallel syntax whether you like it or not. 😅

If a total cure were found for COVID and Long COVID tomorrow, my life would not "go back to normal", because I would still have to deal with having seen how people have treated the vulnerable (including me) in this era, and how people have revealed themselves to be selfish, ignorant, and willing to bring harm to others.
No medical cure can erase this horror, trauma and moral injury.
I don't know how we will deal with this (ever).

Expanded specs
- We need an actual forum, not a Discourse or Slack channel.
- DMs/PMs are not a priority.
- The project's larger website is built on WordPress. WordPress forum plug-ins are a hypothetical option.
- This is a small project and I have no budget for tech so I need options that are free or super cheap. (Welcome to life in no-/low-budget spaces.)
My brief is only: "Okay, then find a replacement for Facebook groups" so that's all I have for specs for now. 2/2

I could use some tech advice and I know this is where Mastodon shines!
I'm need to create a #forum (long term) as part of a project. The team was going to default to a Facebook group, I have begged them not to, now it's on me to propose alternatives.
Needs
- private
- small scale
- safe from AI scraping
- for low tech users
- easy to set up & administer
- does not need hardcore moderation tools
(I've run many forums in the past but I've been out of the loop a while.)
Any platform recs? 1/2

Academic Mastodon friends, I'm hoping you can help me out. I'm looking for good examples in academic papers of well-written sections recommending areas for further research. I need to dig into the format and language for a project.
It could be in any field, discipline or publication. And yes, it can be your own paper!
I'd love to know what you like about the example you pick, too.
Boosts on this are welcome, thank you.

I'm noticing an uptick in terms like "Elder Gen X", "Elder Millennial" and "Elder Gen Z / Elder Zoomer".
I wonder if it is coming from an orchestrated push to obfuscate the fact that the total failure of pandemic public health policies and leadership is prematurely killing off generations of actual elders.

> Then the question becomes what to do with all the large, lightless, but well cooled empty buildings.
Not the actual point of the original post or your comment, I realize, but my first thought was that if you can add effective air ventilation and filtration (as well as lighting, presumably, these may repurpose as public cooling centers in extreme heat events, which we will have increasing call for from climate change.
